Scott, great video. You are very clear about the pro and the cons, love the no nonsense approach. I bought four NuX 5ghz units some weeks ago, didn’t work out got a refund, but I’m going to look at the ptm33 and 10. Cheers.
Yeah, the NUX one works well for me AND I let a friend borrow it when he forgot to bring his to our Dominican Republic show we got to do. He loved it and asked where to buy one. But many people have had problems with it. I had to update with a pinned comment on that one. But definitely worth looking into the 33 or the 10. Phenyx pro does great stuff!
Thanks so much for all this killer content. I’ve been bingeing your videos and learning so much. I’m a full time solo artist and starting up a band right now so this system could be perfect. Thanks again! I want all my garmonbozia!
Finally starting to get into doing stuff with my old band again. Your videos have been really helpful as we start moving toward getting out to play live again. I want all my garmonbozia!
Great content as usual, Scott! I want all my garmonbozia. My church is looking to move to all in ear monitors. I hope to do it soon, the sound from the floor monitors bouncing off the back wall makes it sound mushy and distorted.
Wow! Literally researching to help elevate a production team and band and then we see this video! To win this would take away all of our pain and sorrow, our producer thought we'd want the top of the line everything. I simply told him "I want all my garmonbozia" then he started calling me Bob......weird.
Great review ... the R/L would have confused me. Timely for me - I'm just getting into my X32 and an IEM plan is in the works. I want all my Garmonbozia!
Thanks for the another excellent video Scott! I was really excited with this Phenyx Pro device. Unfortunately, I'm from Europe country, but I wish that who wins this, have a great time with it! Best of luck to all! Thanks again for these videos, and to share all of these informations! Keep going!
Thanks Gil! Shipping overseas has gotten really expensive now, AND they now make YOU pay for something to arrive. And it takes forever. Another guy who won one of my giveaways lives in Italy and it took over 2 months to arrive. I truly thought they lost it.
Thanks for the video Scott! I was sent these ears by one of my bandmates to check out and see if I could find any fatal flaws, and your video has definitely helped narrow down options, but man, I want all my garmonbozia to make a final decision on a system like this!
Your Drummer might have a short in his iems cable it happens pretty often because the corrosion gets in the ports and drummers also are usually unreasonably very hard on their cables yanking on them snagging with stickes ect. I had my signal drop out on me with my old shure se215 iem's from this I intially thought it was my wireless but after brushing the cable while whipping sweat off my forehead I heard it cut out so I started messing with the connection and figured it out. All the sweat got in the port and caused corrosion i eventually cleaned it with deoxit on a qtip and it worked fine again
Thanks Scott for all these videos! Learning so much from them. Although I want all my garmbozonia, I really need to get an in ear wireless system to take our band to the next level.
Thanks, Scott, for your informative videos, they help Making choices easier. I want all of my Garmonbozia, but when our bass player left play in some lame Pop band he took his pair of Phenyx Pro PTM 22s. But fortunately, we able to replace him with an even better Bassist! Unfortunately, we are back to floor wedges for now. And we'll ROCK ON!
Hey Scott! I've been going through a good chunk of your videos and definitely have learned ALOT about prepping for live shows so that you for that! Also.. I want all my garmonbozia !
Great Review! I am in NW Georgia about 40 Min outside of Atlanta. Play some gigs in Atlanta area as well. I see the unit is available in both 500 or 900Mhz options. What I am now trying to figure out is which would be better for my geographical location? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve seen issues with dropouts if I accidentally forget to take my cell phone out of my back pocket while my wireless receiver is on my belt. Move the phone away, and everything works properly…so that might be his issue. I make my drummer use a wired system with the P-16M mixer. When I do that, he always says, “I want all my garmonbozia!”
@@ScottUhlMusic perhaps. I mean…even the most experienced of us forget about interference. Cell phones are in the 2.4Ghz spectrum, but I still get interference even on my MiPro 909 diversity system when my phone is nearby…and it’s in the 5E frequency range
Love your channel. We're also a husband and wife due utilising backing tracks ( in Aus: so no giveaway for us this time ) and are looking at performing with iem. Really interested in your wireless Backing Track set up and all the other recommendations like Multitracker - which really helps simplify things when we have a saxophone player jumping in on a couple of songs when he's available.
Scott, thanks again for this and all of your videos. As an old fart that still performs, you have opened my eyes and simplified things regarding in ears, backing tracks and the like...much appreciated! Oh and yeah...I want all my all my Garmonbozia!
Aww man! Just thought I'd try anyways lol. Either way I learn a lot from your videos so thank you! I just bought a 9U rack today for my IEM Rig build 😌😎💪🏻
You could do that, but in that case, just get a single IEM system (like the PTM 10) with 4 body packs and have them all set to the same channel. You wouldn’t need 4 transmitters in that case
Isn’t the 900mhz frequency illegal in the US? Would this be ok to use in the US? I don’t know very much but I’ve heard some things about illegal frequencies.
I don't know why but every time I buy new products for my live gigs a few days later you review something similar but way cooler... Maybe I just have bad luck... Also I want all my Garmonbozia more than any in ear system in the world, but I'd still be happy if I win the in ear system. P.S. I live in Mexico but I have family in the US, can I still participate in the giveaway? The shipping of course would be to my relatives home in the US.
If you mean can 2 different people have body packs set to channel A for example? Yes If you mean can you set channel A and B to the same channel and try to rig it for stereo? No
I’ve read a number of reviews online for this system that mention loud pops and static periodically. Any additional feedback after using it a while longer?
You need 4 in ear monitor sends? And this has 4 separate in ear monitors. Sounds like it’s exactly what you need, unless I’m misunderstanding the question
Can you buy a fifth body pack and use five with the system with two of them using the same mix? We are a five-member band looking for a reasonably priced solution.
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks Scott, appreciate it. One more for you, my searching for a source to just buy a single body pack for the PTM33 is weak as I can’t find it. I have found singles for the PTM11 and 22, do you know if they are the same ones?
We just had our first practice with this last night (5 body packs) and gotta say wow, first impressions are very positive. We did have a handful of dropouts over two hours or so of practice but as you mentioned it was only for a hot second and it didn't seem like we all experienced them at the same time. It was noticeable, but didn't effect anything...so far, definitely worth the price point. I also bought a pair of the CCA C12 in ears that you recommended in another video, those are certainly worth the $50 for the sound upgrade.
I think Nacho Libre said it best when he said, and i quote, "save me a piece of that 🌽 for later!" But alas, i saved none for him... I want ALL my garmonbozia...
First off, love how you review all products. This channel is such a great source of info for all levels of musicians. We see all this gear coming out, and are really interested, but too afraid to pull the trigger and spend our cash, without some trustworthy and honest reviews. And you deliver exactly that, along with a simplified overview, and the quick and easy setup and operation. So, from this guy to you, thanks Scott. And as far as the PTM - 33: This is exactly what I need to take my whole band from WIRED iem, to WIRELESS iem. "I Want All My Garmonbozia!"
I hope Phenyx Pro comes out with a stereo version this! This looks like a great option for getting started with IEMs or if rack space is limited like in a fly rig. That being said, I want all my garmonbozia.
@@ScottUhlMusic True, but I would be happy to pay for a 1U unit with 4 individual stereo receivers/mixes, good frequency range for each receiver, and frequency scanning. If Phenyx Pro could figure out how to mash 4 PTM-10A's into a 1U rack, I would be first in line. Rack space is precious.
Scott, I want all my Garmonbozia, but if BOB comes a-knocking’ I’d rather just take the IEM system… and maybe a slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee. Damn good food.
Hi Scott. My band need this badly. We're Filipino working at Saudi Arabia but im willing to pay for the shipment if necessary. Please, I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA.
I want all my garmonbozia! Take the videos and all the information. Sent you an email a while back asking some questions on your website but I’m sure it might’ve done the same or something.
Hey Scott, I see this is available with two frequency ranges one in the 530-555 and one in the 902-928mhz. Do you happen to know which one of these ranges is the least crowded and what else can we expect to find that would have interference in these ranges?
Based on your review, I’m ready to pull the trigger on the PTM-33. There are two versions available in the US, 500 and 900 mhz range. Which would you recommend?
Thanks for the rundown on frequency spread and how that works with budget choices, Scott. I've been thinking about picking up a Phenyx, and if I'm getting a wireless system, I want all my garmonbozia. If I can't have it all, then it's important to know what I CAN have.
Playing in a lot of DIY and punk clubs, full band monitoring is a tricky task. A 4 in one system to just be able to hear ourselves would be super dope. I want all my garmonbozia!
Seems like a steal for less than $500. I Want All My Garmonbozia. What's the difference between the channels 1-10 and the frequency range of each group?
Groups and channels are just how most wireless do frequency names. Instead of 902.025 they just say “group 2 channel 6.” Although it’s definitely than that and I have a video on it here: th-cam.com/video/3zuHC2m0l3s/w-d-xo.html Although also, this system doesn’t really follow how groups work like they do in this video
Thanks for the review. I wonder if DJs and live sound audio engineers are considering using these systems for wireless speakers. I probably would be concerned about the ability to play through walls but definitely would consider the following for line of sight.
Hi Scott...I've watched this video and the PTM-10 and the PTM-10 using 2 receivers with 1 transmitter. The cost for 1 PTM-33 and 4 packs vs 2 PTM-10s and 4 packs is almost even. We only need 4. We have very little else in the way of wireless (a Shure GLXD-16 for my guitar). The question is: Should we go all-in-1 with the PTM-33 (seems easier and less hassle) vs the dual PTM-10s? Thanks in advance.
I would definitely go with 2 PTM 10s instead…. Because they each span the entire frequency range instead of cutting it into 1/4s like the 33s do. Definitely go that route 👍
For the price point to have 4 individual mono mixes is quite fantastic! As a live sound engineer to be able to help out a bit for certain scenarios this would be quite helpful. I want all my garmonbozia!
I am pleased with the quality of their products. I’ve been waiting to purchase these and for them to hit the market. I just bought the P16M in ears for my x32 and want to try different in ear setups from wedges to headphone amplifiers through various outs as I have available.
I wonder if having only 2 antennas is the reason for the system being mono, as they may lower costs in transmitting hardware by sending a stereo signal that each pack will pick and reproduce only one channel. Pretty smart move imo. I want all my garmonbozia!
@BassmanDominic 0 seconds ago Hi Scott, How do I find out which freq (500 vs 900) allows more useable channels for my area with this unit? I'm thinking this may be a great solution for my band as we don't use any other wireless equipment. Thanks
Would love to have this system for a band …We have been looking for a affordable budget in ear system …love content and very informative…all I have to say is I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA …Good luck 🍀 to everyone 🙏🏼
Hi Scott, congrats on your content, it's pure quality. I have a quick question, I'm new to this world (Monitors) and I play rhythm guitar on a band with friends, nothing too professional. A couple of years ago I got a set of Ultimate Ears Pro inears just to listen to music but now I want to start using them for what they're for. I've been looking on amazon for a system and I'm not sure, we mostly play rock and sometimes it's just the singer and myself. What would you recommend I get? Considering I'd probably plug them on the console we all plug into on the headphones channel, nothing too fancy to start with. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video, was about to purchase, but the unbalanced inputs is what's bothering me. I'm running a 100 foot snake with XLR aux outputs, and the unbalanced signal is really only good for like 25 feet or so before introducing noise/signal degradation. 4x xlr to 1/4 inch line transformer adapters plugged into the transmitter from the snake the best solution? Should have just had balanced inputs as an option. :(

“I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA” I really do like your reviews, a lot, plus you you have a nice pleasant voice and good modulation 😊 I have one of these in the cart now trying to figure out how to pay for it
I recently bought the 8 mic wireless system from Phenyx and I am wondering if we could also run these. We are using 5 mics and ideally need 5 IEMs. Is that to much? We also have two different guitars running wireless. One in 2.4 and one in 5 mhz. Am I on the right track?
That’s way too much cheap wireless. I highly suggest watching this video: Choosing the Right WIRELESS SYSTEM - A Comprehensive Guide th-cam.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/w-d-xo.html
Love your reviews and tutorials. I've recently bought an iPad switched over to ST3 after watching your tutorials (from an Android tablet using Songlist Pro). I want all my Garmonbozia
We are currently using Shure PSM1000, but this would make an outstanding back up system. Especially the ease of use. But, I still want all my garmonbozia.
Nice! You have one of the best IEMs out there for sure! Those psm1000 are killer and I see them being used by touring acts all the time! But wouldn’t hurt to have these as a backup with some paddle antennas 🤘
You should give the system to me. I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for at least 1000 of your subscribers. Just turned the sound guy at the club I just played on to your channel. I also turned the band members of the band I filled in for onto your channel for non-$500 wireless systems haha. Most of all though... I want all my Garmonbozia! and a spoon! Thanks for what you do Scott!!
I couldn’t locate the video you referred to about the Loop Out feature. I’m not familiar with that feature or at least don’t know that lingo for it. Would you mind sending me the link, please? 😊
Loop out is for going into the input and then directly passing the signal out. So you can put in vocals or guitar or something direct and then pass it through to FOH to be mixed, but you still can hear the instrument you plugged in
Got a light? Your channel has been really valuable in trying to get my bandmates religion on IEMs. I know you clowned on the drummer a bit in this one, but do you have any suggestions or videos on handling the drums in the IEM mix? It seems to be the biggest wildcard on how they get mic'ed with the shows I play. If only I had a 10-year-old version of me to say "I want all my garmonbozia!"
First, nice “got a light” reference 🤘 I’ll never forget the first time I watched episode 8 🤯 Second, yeah drums are by far the toughest. And they get the most bleed into mics too, especially if you have multiple singers. Sometimes I have to remove all drum mics because I get so much bleed from the vocal mics. Other times just kick and snare are good. It definitely depends on the room and setup
Hi sir. Sorry, if I didn't catch it or anything. Do you plug your guitar (another cable from your stereo pedal) into one of the inputs of the PTM33 to get the feed, or do you get a feed from your amp? Or would it work either way? Also, does this mean you need to get a feed from the drum mix from the house and then plug it into one of the inputs to get the drum tracks? Thank you.
I want all my Garmonbozia is the magic phrase! I hope I win, even though I'm in Canada but I do have access to a US mailing address in WA. Good to know about the bandwidth limitations! Always appreciate your videos and generosity.
I think a unit like this one that could do 4 mono or two stereo mixes would be killer. I also believe the body pack is better then that of the PTM-10. I want all my Garmonbozia.
Great Review. I have two PTM-22 Units but was thinking of upgrading to the PTM-33 to save on rack space, power, antennas, etc. i want all my garmonbozia
Hey Scott, I want all my garmonbozia. I also want to delve into IEM. The lead singer is pushing IEM’s for the whole band. Question…the lead guitarist is resistant and insists on using a wedge. Claims that he can’t get feedback effect without it. How would you get around this? Thanks again for another great review.
I know, there is always one guy who refuses, which is really frustrating. Is feedback really that important for the show? In ears are such a massive help. I feel like the pros outweigh the cons
I just want all my garmonbozia Scott. Apropos of nothing, this in-ear system would be very helpful for me; a musician who has been looking for an affordable in-ear solution for a while now. Thanks.
Truly don't know how you have time to create such a high number of consistently high quality reviews, Scott. But I'm certainly glad you do. Cheers!
Thanks Chuck! I appreciate that. It’s been a LOT of work especially since gigs are picking up a lot for summer. So I’m glad people are enjoying them

@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks Scott, appreciate it. One more for you, my searching for a source to just buy a single body pack for the PTM33 is weak as I can’t find it. I have found singles for the PTM11 and 22, do you know if they are the same ones?
@@geoffspakes I don't know, I would reach out to PP directly to ask them
We just had our first practice with this last night (5 body packs) and gotta say wow, first impressions are very positive. We did have a handful of dropouts over two hours or so of practice but as you mentioned it was only for a hot second and it didn't seem like we all experienced them at the same time. It was noticeable, but didn't effect anything...so far, definitely worth the price point.
I also bought a pair of the CCA C12 in ears that you recommended in another video, those are certainly worth the $50 for the sound upgrade.
@@geoffspakes Nice! Glad it's been working well for you!
Hurray for cheap wireless... dropouts and all. I light up 900mhz like a Christmas tree. I want all my Garmonbozia.
How much can they all be weighed together?
I think Nacho Libre said it best when he said, and i quote, "save me a piece of that 🌽 for later!"
But alas, i saved none for him... I want ALL my garmonbozia...
Hahahaha nice reference! 🤘🤘
First off, love how you review all products. This channel is such a great source of info for all levels of musicians. We see all this gear coming out, and are really interested, but too afraid to pull the trigger and spend our cash, without some trustworthy and honest reviews. And you deliver exactly that, along with a simplified overview, and the quick and easy setup and operation.
So, from this guy to you, thanks Scott.
And as far as the PTM - 33:
This is exactly what I need to take my whole band from WIRED iem, to WIRELESS iem. "I Want All My Garmonbozia!"
Thanks Garrett! I appreciate that 😊
I hope Phenyx Pro comes out with a stereo version this! This looks like a great option for getting started with IEMs or if rack space is limited like in a fly rig. That being said, I want all my garmonbozia.
If it was stereo and has scanning, that would be amazing! But also no longer be at this price point 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic True, but I would be happy to pay for a 1U unit with 4 individual stereo receivers/mixes, good frequency range for each receiver, and frequency scanning. If Phenyx Pro could figure out how to mash 4 PTM-10A's into a 1U rack, I would be first in line. Rack space is precious.
Scott, I want all my Garmonbozia, but if BOB comes a-knocking’ I’d rather just take the IEM system… and maybe a slice of cherry pie and a cup of coffee. Damn good food.
Hi Scott. My band need this badly. We're Filipino working at Saudi Arabia but im willing to pay for the shipment if necessary. Please, I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA.
I really appreciate your tutorials and reviews.. what the heck...I want my garmonbozia!😅
I want all my garmonbozia! Take the videos and all the information. Sent you an email a while back asking some questions on your website but I’m sure it might’ve done the same or something.
I want all my garmonbozia i love this am from jamaica
Hey Scott, I see this is available with two frequency ranges one in the 530-555 and one in the 902-928mhz. Do you happen to know which one of these ranges is the least crowded and what else can we expect to find that would have interference in these ranges?
Neither is “least crowded,” it always depends on where you are performing. Always. Which is why more bandwidth is always better 👍
hello from Mexico !! I want all my garmonbozia cause here we dont have such cool things available in my local stores ,,, we r starting a band
Based on your review, I’m ready to pull the trigger on the PTM-33. There are two versions available in the US, 500 and 900 mhz range. Which would you recommend?
I have a video on that here: What Are Wireless "BANDS" and Which One Should YOU Get?
th-cam.com/video/_lvzZPRyOwo/w-d-xo.html
Great advice for sure. How do you find out what frequency each of your devices are on? We have wireless guitars NUX and I have no idea how to check it
It should be on the specs on the website 👍
Thanks for the rundown on frequency spread and how that works with budget choices, Scott. I've been thinking about picking up a Phenyx, and if I'm getting a wireless system, I want all my garmonbozia. If I can't have it all, then it's important to know what I CAN have.
Another great honest review. I don't really know that "I want all my Garmonbozia". I'd rather have an in ear monitor system.
Garmanbozia..iwant all of it.. even tho I have no idea what it is.. system looks good to me..I will be looking at it
I love your videos!! The hx stomp videos helped so much for my live setup!!!
I want all my Garmonbozia!! Twin peaks slaps!!!
Playing in a lot of DIY and punk clubs, full band monitoring is a tricky task. A 4 in one system to just be able to hear ourselves would be super dope. I want all my garmonbozia!
Nice! Yeah it’s a great design for sure!
Need this... I want all my garmonbozia
Seems like a steal for less than $500. I Want All My Garmonbozia. What's the difference between the channels 1-10 and the frequency range of each group?
Groups and channels are just how most wireless do frequency names. Instead of 902.025 they just say “group 2 channel 6.” Although it’s definitely than that and I have a video on it here: th-cam.com/video/3zuHC2m0l3s/w-d-xo.html
Although also, this system doesn’t really follow how groups work like they do in this video
Thanks for the review. I wonder if DJs and live sound audio engineers are considering using these systems for wireless speakers. I probably would be concerned about the ability to play through walls but definitely would consider the following for line of sight.
I wouldn’t use these for PA speakers. If you are looking for a cheap one, I like these: th-cam.com/video/Rs64Hglyv0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_bSIKvDmieIm1i0W
Hi Scott...I've watched this video and the PTM-10 and the PTM-10 using 2 receivers with 1 transmitter. The cost for 1 PTM-33 and 4 packs vs 2 PTM-10s and 4 packs is almost even. We only need 4. We have very little else in the way of wireless (a Shure GLXD-16 for my guitar). The question is: Should we go all-in-1 with the PTM-33 (seems easier and less hassle) vs the dual PTM-10s? Thanks in advance.
I would definitely go with 2 PTM 10s instead…. Because they each span the entire frequency range instead of cutting it into 1/4s like the 33s do. Definitely go that route 👍
For the price point to have 4 individual mono mixes is quite fantastic! As a live sound engineer to be able to help out a bit for certain scenarios this would be quite helpful. I want all my garmonbozia!
100%! Great for the price point!
I am pleased with the quality of their products. I’ve been waiting to purchase these and for them to hit the market. I just bought the P16M in ears for my x32 and want to try different in ear setups from wedges to headphone amplifiers through various outs as I have available.
Nice! Welcome to the IEM world!
Please talk about the case.
The case?
I wonder if having only 2 antennas is the reason for the system being mono, as they may lower costs in transmitting hardware by sending a stereo signal that each pack will pick and reproduce only one channel. Pretty smart move imo. I want all my garmonbozia!
For budget stuff, mono is the option to save money. I like that they made it mono to keep it budget friendly

Hi Scott, How do I find out which freq (500 vs 900) allows more useable channels for my area with this unit? I'm thinking this may be a great solution for my band as we don't use any other wireless equipment. Thanks
You can look at the Shure frequency finder and stuff like that. I need to do a video on that because I get asked it a lot
Would love to have this system for a band …We have been looking for a affordable budget in ear system …love content and very informative…all I have to say is I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA …Good luck 🍀 to everyone 🙏🏼
Thank you Manny 🤘
Hi Scott, congrats on your content, it's pure quality. I have a quick question, I'm new to this world (Monitors) and I play rhythm guitar on a band with friends, nothing too professional. A couple of years ago I got a set of Ultimate Ears Pro inears just to listen to music but now I want to start using them for what they're for. I've been looking on amazon for a system and I'm not sure, we mostly play rock and sometimes it's just the singer and myself. What would you recommend I get? Considering I'd probably plug them on the console we all plug into on the headphones channel, nothing too fancy to start with. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thank you! And I like the CCA ones I go over in this video: th-cam.com/video/xVUf7g2iJJ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VR89-2Vm_-VCOlYy
Thanks for the video, was about to purchase, but the unbalanced inputs is what's bothering me. I'm running a 100 foot snake with XLR aux outputs, and the unbalanced signal is really only good for like 25 feet or so before introducing noise/signal degradation. 4x xlr to 1/4 inch line transformer adapters plugged into the transmitter from the snake the best solution? Should have just had balanced inputs as an option. :(
Yeah, I would look into the PTM 10 as an option in that case 👍
Hi Scott, How do I find out which freq (500 vs 900) allows more useable channels for my area with this unit? I'm thinking this may be a great solution for my band as we don't use any other wireless equipment. Thanks
I would use the Shure frequency finder 👍
“I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA”
I really do like your reviews, a lot, plus you you have a nice pleasant voice and good modulation 😊
I have one of these in the cart now trying to figure out how to pay for it
Thanks Linda!
I recently bought the 8 mic wireless system from Phenyx and I am wondering if we could also run these. We are using 5 mics and ideally need 5 IEMs. Is that to much? We also have two different guitars running wireless. One in 2.4 and one in 5 mhz. Am I on the right track?
That’s way too much cheap wireless. I highly suggest watching this video: Choosing the Right WIRELESS SYSTEM - A Comprehensive Guide
th-cam.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/w-d-xo.html
can this be used in the uk? the only seller listed is ali express, nothing on amazon, maybe the frequency range is within the licenced range in uk?
You just need to check which frequencies are allowed in your areas you are playing in
Love your reviews and tutorials. I've recently bought an iPad switched over to ST3 after watching your tutorials (from an Android tablet using Songlist Pro). I want all my Garmonbozia
Nice! Glad it convinced you to switch over. It’s 100% worth it with stage Traxx
We are currently using Shure PSM1000, but this would make an outstanding back up system. Especially the ease of use.
But, I still want all my garmonbozia.
Nice! You have one of the best IEMs out there for sure! Those psm1000 are killer and I see them being used by touring acts all the time! But wouldn’t hurt to have these as a backup with some paddle antennas 🤘
You should give the system to me. I'm pretty sure I'm responsible for at least 1000 of your subscribers. Just turned the sound guy at the club I just played on to your channel. I also turned the band members of the band I filled in for onto your channel for non-$500 wireless systems haha. Most of all though... I want all my Garmonbozia! and a spoon!
Thanks for what you do Scott!!
Thanks man!!! I really appreciate that! 😊😊😊
I couldn’t locate the video you referred to about the Loop Out feature. I’m not familiar with that feature or at least don’t know that lingo for it.
Would you mind sending me the link, please? 😊
Loop out is for going into the input and then directly passing the signal out. So you can put in vocals or guitar or something direct and then pass it through to FOH to be mixed, but you still can hear the instrument you plugged in
Got a light? Your channel has been really valuable in trying to get my bandmates religion on IEMs. I know you clowned on the drummer a bit in this one, but do you have any suggestions or videos on handling the drums in the IEM mix? It seems to be the biggest wildcard on how they get mic'ed with the shows I play.
If only I had a 10-year-old version of me to say "I want all my garmonbozia!"
First, nice “got a light” reference 🤘 I’ll never forget the first time I watched episode 8 🤯
Second, yeah drums are by far the toughest. And they get the most bleed into mics too, especially if you have multiple singers. Sometimes I have to remove all drum mics because I get so much bleed from the vocal mics. Other times just kick and snare are good. It definitely depends on the room and setup
Nice review. Thank you for your honest opinions and assessments. Im glad money (or Garmonbozia) can't buy you...
Haha thanks Andy! I appreciate that
Hi sir. Sorry, if I didn't catch it or anything. Do you plug your guitar (another cable from your stereo pedal) into one of the inputs of the PTM33 to get the feed, or do you get a feed from your amp? Or would it work either way? Also, does this mean you need to get a feed from the drum mix from the house and then plug it into one of the inputs to get the drum tracks? Thank you.
I would watch my beginners guide to in ear monitors: th-cam.com/video/Kp0tQCfxzWg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vn_Na13YpwL9IckE
I want all my Garmonbozia is the magic phrase! I hope I win, even though I'm in Canada but I do have access to a US mailing address in WA.
Good to know about the bandwidth limitations! Always appreciate your videos and generosity.
Thanks for watching!
I think a unit like this one that could do 4 mono or two stereo mixes would be killer. I also believe the body pack is better then that of the PTM-10. I want all my Garmonbozia.
That’s a good point, that would be nice! The PTM 10 is pretty solid too though
Great Review. I have two PTM-22 Units but was thinking of upgrading to the PTM-33 to save on rack space, power, antennas, etc. i want all my garmonbozia
Yeah for combining the antennas and have 4 in 1, it’s pretty incredible!
Hey Scott, I want all my garmonbozia. I also want to delve into IEM. The lead singer is pushing IEM’s for the whole band. Question…the lead guitarist is resistant and insists on using a wedge. Claims that he can’t get feedback effect without it. How would you get around this? Thanks again for another great review.
I know, there is always one guy who refuses, which is really frustrating. Is feedback really that important for the show? In ears are such a massive help. I feel like the pros outweigh the cons
Hey Scott, love the channel and all of your helpful information. I WANT ALL MY GARMONBOZIA.
Thank you 🙏
I just want all my garmonbozia Scott. Apropos of nothing, this in-ear system would be very helpful for me; a musician who has been looking for an affordable in-ear solution for a while now. Thanks.
This is definitely a good budget one!
Hi Scoot great vidéos thx, wondering if you know why the product is more cheap on aliexpress than on the phenyx website? Are they same product?
Interesting, that I don’t know!
